Turn a week of notes into a useful review
https://patrickz.ai/learn/review-your-week-with-ai/

OUTCOME
Produce an evidence-based weekly review and one action for next week.

YOU NEED
A chat assistant and five short, non-sensitive sample daily notes. A folder of text files is optional.

1. State the intended week
Write two goals with observable outcomes, such as completing two practice exercises or sending one reviewed proposal.

2. Collect a small record
For each day record what happened, time spent and one blocker. Distinguish “not recorded” from “did not happen.” Remove other people’s private information.

3. Ask for evidence
Request a goal-by-goal comparison with a quotation or date supporting each observation. Ask the model to separate facts, tentative patterns and unanswered questions.

4. Choose one adjustment
Pick a single change you can test next week. Set a review date and a measure. Keep the notes as the source of truth instead of relying on the assistant to remember them.

PROMPT
Compare these goals with these dated notes. For every observation cite a date or exact note. Separate recorded facts from hypotheses. Missing entries are unknown, not failures. Suggest three small experiments; I will choose one. Goals: [goals]. Notes: [notes].

EXAMPLE / EXPERIMENT
Three notes saying “started late after meetings” support testing a morning study slot. They do not support a claim that you lack discipline.

CHECK YOUR RESULT
[ ] Every observation has evidence.
[ ] Missing data is labeled unknown.
[ ] The next action has a date and a measure.

IF IT FAILS
If the review sounds like a personality diagnosis, ask it to describe only recorded actions. Reduce the input to one week and one goal.
